Support & Advice

The Partnership has delivered a series of support programmes to Cumbria’s social enterprise sector for the past 15 years. We currently have a number of programmes of support available to both existing social enterprises or anyone looking to setup a new social enterprise.

This programme, delivered in partnership with Cumberland Council, provided specialist consultancy support to help social enterprises launch new ventures or strengthen existing ones — covering all aspects of business development including planning, strategy, governance, funding, impact, and more.

This programme is now open.

Enquiries can be made via becx.carter@secumbria.org.uk
